There are a number of elements of the shopping process which include:need, information gathering, receiving, trial, evaluation, selection, transaction, delivery andreturn. An individual’s choice of the mode of shopping plays a significant role in each of theelements of the shopping process (Comklin & Trudeau, 2000).Today, various technologies are known and very popular to the people. In line with thebusiness, technological advancement creates a new wave of changing the way of buying andselling goods. Consumers have the two ways of buying a product, whether online shopping orthe traditional way of shopping.In its original context a traditional market is defined as a physical place where buyersand sellers meet in order to make exchanges (Kotler, Wong, Saunders & Armstrong, 2005).However, the Internet which is a rather new type of digital interactive media, an electronic channel of communication where actors can take part actively and instantly (Arens, 2004), has given rise to a new marketplace, and a new form of commerce called e-commerce. It is thecommercial transactions conducted electronically on the Internet. To conduct e-commerce on theInternet is to buy, sell, transfer, or exchange products, ser- vices, or information (Turban,Leidner, McLean & Wetherbe, 2006).
Customers believe online shopping as a nearer alternate of catalog shopping or
traditionalshopping (Ward, 2001). In 2017, approximately 1.66 billion people worldwide went shoppingonline. About 79 percent of U.S. customers buy products online.In the Philippines there were26.01 million e-commerce users in 2015. Some Filipino people choose this option for itsconvenience and flexibility. Others are allured by lower costs and exclusive deals.Yet, online shopping cannot match the experience of being able to physically touchproducts.
